Sustainability is at the heart of what Swiss Life does. With concrete measures, we want to make our contribution to sustainable development – for the benefit of the people, the society and the environment.

Swiss Life enables people to lead a financially self-determined life. This includes supporting them in shaping their financial future according to their requirements, including those concerning sustainability.

The sustainability strategy is an essential component of the current “Swiss Life 2027” Group-wide programme. The focus is on four fields of action: Swiss Life’s business behaviour, its role as an asset owner and manager, the way it runs its insurance and advisory business and its role as an employer. Through these fields of action, Swiss Life makes a direct contribution to people’s lives, to society and to the environment.
